HOUSE AND FARM.
Advantages Of Whitewash.

Whitewash has many uses, political
and moral, (Or immoral rather) as well
as economic. But as a fire extinguish-
er it has not been hitherto generally
recognized here. "Do you know"
said a scientific gentleman the other
day, "that it is next to impossible to
burn whitewashed fence? And do
you know, further, that in France, 10
protect frame and the interiors of 9th
er buildings from fire, the walls,
beams, joists and the under side OF
fioorings are thickly coated with lime
wash before they are placed in posi-
ton? 1t is 80, and if this course,
which has prevailed abroad almost
from time immemorial, were adopted
here, it would save many a house,
many a village, from destruction.
do not mean to say that it will prevent
the spread of fire once under great
headway; but from its uninfamma.
BILE character it is guard against the
prime ignition that often leads to dire
results" This little hint set the writ
er to making inquiry among compe-
tent authorities, and full confirmation
of the doctors words was the outcome.

Christian Neighbor.
BY REV. SIDI III. BROWNE,
Of the South Carolina Conference

The war was inevitable. II was brave
ly fought and ended. The blue was mag
unanimous, the gray was honorable in the
settlement. That each believed itself to
be right no intelligent man doubts. That
either wishes to set aside or to challenge
any of the great results of the struggle
nobody pretends.-UoTper's Weekly.
With what complacency! Counting
over the corruptions, murders and attend
ant and following evils of that unneces-
sary, evita5le war. How smoothly and
nicely the Weekly gilds its untempered
mortar, wiping one side of its mouth
naognanimoats1y for the North and then
the other side honorably for the South,
and, with an air Of innocence, declare,
we "have done no wick edness."
If tho war was inevitable" there was
no wickedness in it, for there can be
neither wrong nor right in any thing
which is avoidable-inevitable.
The "inevitable" in that war was the
same as in any other personal or national
murder, pillage and destruction. What
a capacious warehouse this "inevitable'
heresy affords to thieves, murderers, liars
and all such. in which to store away their
abominable crimes.
But there was a certain inevitable in
the beginning of that war. 1t was the
same in principle as the inevitable in the
case of Hymeneus and Alexander Il Tim.
j: 2O who persistently refusing to receive
the Christian teaching of Paul inevitably
fell under the tuition of Satan, that they
might learn under the rough and bloody
curriculum of the father of lies what they
might have learned under Paul.
"Fools, because Of their transgressions
and because of their iniquities, are af-
flicted." Psa. evil: II.

Care Of Roses.

The rose is great feeder and it
must have a plentiful supply of nutri-
ment within easy reach in order to dc
it's best. Take some turf from pas.
ture lot and cut it up into small pieces
with a spade and mix it with an equal
bulk of old COW manure. If to this is
added quantity of broken bones, q
compost will be formed which the
roots of the rose will revel in. The
plant can be removed from the ground
and then bed prepared from three to
five feet in diameter with the above
mixture, and then the plant may be
replanted. A trench about eighteen
inches away from the bush can be cut
all around, cutting off the side roots
underneath, below the surrounding
pile of earth. When this has been
done fill the compost material and give
it q good watering. Numerous new fl
brous roots will form and be ready in
the spring to supply the plant with
sap.

A Darkey OF Business.

Mr.. Archibald Forbes tells an anus
ing story, rather at his own expense
of his qualification at the apparent de-
sire of the imam and brother fol
highest intellectual culture. On ar
irving at the station ut West Chester
Pennsylvania, where he was to lee
ture, darkey cabman offered his ser
vices to convey him to the hotel. On
arrival, Mr.. Forbes asked the extent OF
pecuniary remuneration expected fol
the assistance. The darkey replied
"Well, sab, if you JUS glib me ticket
to the lectur', sab, I should be right
glad" This unusual request from 6
cabman struck him as not only singu'
lar and laudable, but as quite compli
mentary to himself, so he said, Ger.
tainly; and haven't you missis ?'
"Oh yes, sab, I'se got a missis. y
"Well you shall have one for her -
and Mr.. Forbes requested his agent tc
hand to the knowledge-seeker the re.
uuisite cards. On reaching the lecture
room he cast glance over the audi
ence to discover his colored friend; but
he had not arrived, nor did he put in
an appearance. The next morning, Oh
getting into the same cab to 60 to the
station, Mr.. Forbes said II didn't sec
YOU at the lecture last nightw 'Nc
sab; I were not dar," ''But gave
YOU tickets for yourself and wife ?'
HYes, sab I know dat, sab; but you
see, sab, I jes' sold them tickets for
dollar, sab, cause I don't know much
bout lectures, and I thought I'd rad.

Rev. John Hemmenway, has recently
been near to death, but is now able to say
in last Messenger Of Peace, of which he
is Associate Editor:
81 have recently been, as I thought
near to death. did not then expect tc
write any more for the Messenger in be-
half of the precious cause of Peace. But
through the mercy of God, I am now ir
a comfortable state of health, and my life
may be continued few months and ever
years longer
May the Lord prolong the useful life o
John Hemmenway many years that he
may continue to speak, write, pray and
live in behalf of Peace on earth and good
will toward men. We know of no living
man who is more thoroughly sound and
jealous in Christian advocacy OF peace
and in his Christian opposition to war
the worlds greatest curse. Life, health
and peace from God the Father and oul
Lord Jesus Christ to our beloved friend
and brother.

Value Of q Doctors Services.

I was called at midnight to visit q
gentleman who had just returned
from q late dinner, where he had sue.
ceeded by hasty eating in lodging q
large fish-bone in his throat. I pro.
vided myself with an emetic, a pair OF
@sophagus forceps, and other para
phernalia designed to give him relief
and hurriedly repaired to his room.
I found him pacing up and down the
floor with q look of intense distress
and anxiety, occasionally running his
fingers down his throat and gagging.
He told me, in tones of despair, that
he thought it was all up with him, but
begged me, if the least glimmer OF
hope remained, to proceed at once in
my efforts to relieve him. He extrav.
agantly declared in the generosity OF
spirit begot by the vividness of his
fears, that he would give a million
dollars to have that fish-bone removed.
I assured him that such cases were
frequent. and ordinarily not attended
with much danger, before proceeding
to carry out measures for relief. His
fears underwent some diminution on
the strength of this, and he then de-
clared that fifty thousand dollars
would no more than repay the skill
and art required to extricate the un.
welcome intruder. smiled and pro-
ceeded to introduce the forceps, but af-
ter several attempts failed to grasp the
bone. His fears again induced him to
mention fabulous sum as the need OF
the service that would expel the OBJ
ject of his terrors. I then gave him
the emetic, its depressing effect caus-
ing his generosity to rise again, ba-
rometric-like, to very high pressure.
In little while the emetic disburden.
ed him of the greater part of his din
ner, and with it up came the fish-bone.
He gave a sigh and look Of relief,
and solemnly looking toward me said,
"Doctor, I wouldn't have that thing
in my throat again for S." My fee
eventually resolved itself into the
valuable experience" that the occa.
sion afforded me.-Mcdical Record.

Our acquaintance (of twenty years. and
occasional interviews with DR.. Webster
left no doubt on our mind that he was do

ple committed to his oversight. He and
we have had not few stiff discussions
about "North and South" ard "white
and colored," and peace and war, but our
disputes never ended in any bad feeling
While to us and others his views on some
subjects appeared ultra, we became sat-
isfied that his "ultraism" was in part the
natural result of the teaching he had re-
ceived before coming South, and in part
by what he regarded ultraism in the
Southern whites. Ultra begets ultra.

CARPETs.-Be sure and take up your
carpets this spring, and this fall, and
every spring and fall, and beat them.
Carpets are generally considered un-
healthy; which saying is correct, pro-
vided they are left on the floor from
one years end to the other without
proper dusting and airing.
One woman was heard to say that
she had mt had the brussels carpet on
her parlor up for seven years, and it
was just as bright and nice as on the
day it was put down. Perhaps it was;
but from the musty atmosphere Of that
room, there might be typhoid fever
lurking in every nook and corner.
BEDs.--Four times year have the
beds and mattresses beaten and shak-

needed, have the latter renlade.. II
bedsteads or boards of room contain
unpleasant intruders, eXpel them at

floors before taking the bed to pieces.

In discussing the Shehan case the New
berry Herald and Ne,cs says:
"By the way, how is it that our esteem
ed contemporary, the Ne'cs and Courier,
heretofore so anxious for the blood OF
some one, has had nothing to say Of this
shooting affair.""
Others besides the Herald and NeacS
have noticed the absence of the sangui-
nary editorials so common on like occa-
sions, and many are at loss to account
for it. The only theory we have heard
advanced is that Sheahsn is Catholic,
and that it makes difference with the
Nescs and Courier as to what kind of an
OK does the goring. But can it be posi-
BILE that our leading daily discriminates
in such matters between catholics and
protestants? It's silence in this case is
certainly significant. Usually it is far
ahead of the people in condemning crime
but here the people held an indignation
meeting, giving expression to their SEN
timents respecting the killing and the

Boys and Trades.

A short time since correspondent
of Southern paper, who evidently
knew how to WELD something besides
his pen, and this he uses to good
purpose, made some observations,
from which the Jewelers. Journal
quotes as follows:
II believe" says the writer, "in
schools where boys can learn trades.
Peter the Great left his throne and
went to learn how to build ship, and
he learned from stem to stern, from
hull to mast, and that was the begin

young man who was poor and smart.

schools up North, where he staid two
years and came back as mining en-
gineer and q bridge builder. Last
year he planned and built q cotton fac

"There is power of comfort in

COM MON S.
The Two DISCOVERIES.

They say that Just about the time
The brave Columbus crossed the sea,
And set the nations all agog
With his new-wOrld discovery.
A dandy of italian birth.
Moved by desire for social sway,
Invented for his ornament
The button Of our later day.
Would we have seen Invention's face,
And read the wonder in her eye,
When in her contribution-boX
The goddess saw button lie!
Undying is the worthy fame
The sturdy navigator won.
And yet, without the dandy's wit
We surely had been still undoae.
We owe to one our native land,
It's mountains, streams and valleys dear,
Yet to the other one. as we'll,
We owe another hemisphere.
Ask of the patriot how much
Twas given that sailor bold to bless,
But wouldst thou know the others need,
Go, ask 1t Of the buttonless!
We praise thee both, we honor thee,
Yet, nameless one, ere life was gone.
Would that thou hadst the secret left,
Some ,oay Of keeping buttons on
